Yup, the fun factor has been tragically misplaced somewhere along the line. I could be cheeky and say it's all Marina Abramowic's fault, but even she was kind of amusing in Jay Z's "arty" video (maybe unintentionally, who knows?).

Mr Bodacious wishes it to be known that he only allows SPECIFIC filters to be used on photographs of his bad self. Paint smells paw-shakingly bad and so is verboten.

Very true - we were both misdiagnosed as depressive for years and fed SSRIs (for me that's 2 weeks of being manic superhero-girl followed by a swandive into the pit of despond).

Yup, it's all because of Instatwitterfacetumblr.

If Bravo wants to fuck with the eagles, they'll need to learn to spread their wings and fly first.

This. For me it wasn't college but an extremely demanding job. I like your use of "effectively celibate", that's true for me too. I read the article and honestly wondered why there was such a rush to label and build a manifesto around not actively looking for sex/relationships.

I adored this song when I was 8 - it plus Kim Wilde's Kids In America and Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll. BRB nostalgia-trawl of YouTube required.

In SWTOR, you can type /played in the chat window and hit enter to see the hours you've put in on the character you're currently playing. I did the math recently across all of my characters and I had less time /played than I thought. If knowing there's an option there really did give you a sad, I apologize.

Can we add to the wi-fi password thing that if they want to spend multiple hours on the internet every day, guests should bring their own damn computer?
